Intimate & Micro-Weddings · York

THE PHILOSOPHY
Your wedding is about love, celebration and fun – not hours spent posing for photos. My approach is a documentary style while still ensuring I capture the images you want. When the essential shots are done, I blend into the crowd like a guest with a camera.

GOOD TO KNOW
I’m a York wedding photographer specialising in natural, relaxed, documentary-style photography. I focus on genuine moments – the laughter, the nerves, the hugs – without turning your day into a photoshoot. Most of the time I blend in and capture events as they happen. When I do step in (for portraits or group photos), it’s calm, simple guidance so you feel comfortable and look like yourselves.
My approach works especially well for York city weddings and smaller, intimate celebrations across North Yorkshire.
Most of my couples book 2–3 hours of wedding photography, which is my speciality – ideal for York registry office weddings, city centre venues and shorter celebrations. That coverage typically includes:
Arrival at the venue
The ceremony
Signing of the register
Confetti photos
Group photos
Couple portraits
This timeframe captures all the key moments while keeping things relaxed and efficient. If you’re planning something longer, extended coverage is always available.
You’ll receive at least 200 fully edited, high-resolution images, often more depending on your day. Your photographs are delivered via a private online gallery, ready to download and share with family and friends. I usually deliver your full gallery within one week of your wedding. No long waits.
Not awkwardly. During couple portraits, I give light direction so you feel natural and at ease. No stiff poses, no forced smiles – just genuine interaction.
Yes. I’m based near York and regularly photograph weddings across York, North Yorkshire and the surrounding areas. Whether it’s a historic York venue or a countryside setting, I adapt to the space and light to create relaxed, timeless images.
Yes – and I keep them organised and quick. I recommend a short, pre-planned list of key family combinations so we can complete them smoothly and get you back to your guests.
Absolutely. I carry insurance and always bring backup cameras and lenses. Weddings don’t get second chances.
In the very unlikely event that I’m unable to photograph your wedding, I won’t just leave you without options. I have a network of trusted professional photographers in the York area – colleagues I know personally and have worked alongside – and I would do everything I can to arrange suitable cover and brief them fully on your day.
Wedding photography is a commitment I take seriously and I’ve never missed a wedding. But I understand how important that reassurance is and I want you to know you’d be in safe hands.
